Located in the Creekside development just east of Ouida Baley Middle School on SH 66, Royse City Royse City ISD’s 8th elementary school finally has a name of its own. After a six-person committee convened in accordance with board policy to review names submitted by the community over the summer. The group studied the submitted names and held discussion before reaching unanimous agreement to recommend Sara Moss Elementary to the school board for approval.
Mrs. Moss taught RCHS Home Economics for 25 years. She also taught pre-kindergarten for five years in Royse City ISD and started the district’s first after school care program in 1999. She sponsored student councils, Future Homemakers of America and One Act Play during her career. The committee noted her ability to teach young people skills that would be useful for their entire adult lives.
At the meeting, Mrs. Moss was joined by dozens of family members and friends. She shared that a phone call back in 1977 from her friend Barbara King changed her life when she was recruited to join Royse City High School as a home economics teacher. She found a school and community that she and her family would love for decades to follow. She expressed deep gratitude and honor to the naming committee and school board for choosing her. Sara Moss Elementary will open its doors to students, staff and families in August of 2025.
